He first worked as an instructor in PRI's Electoral Training Center before becoming Coordinator for the party's Parliamentary Group in the LV Legislature. He also held the job as Chairman of the Political Board of the same legislature.
He has worked in several administrative offices in the state government of Mexico from the early 90's until 2002. He wore many hats while he worked in the state government of Mexico: Government Administration Secretary, President of the Directive Council for the Social Security Institute, President of the Internal Council of Health Institute and Vice President of the Government Board for Integral Family Development System He became affiliated with the National Institute of Public Administration and the Administrative Council for Decentralized Public Agencies.
Enrique Pena Nieto has shown his versatility by also working as a political advisor to PRI National. Becoming a presidential candidate has been culmination of all his years working for the state government of Mexico. Subsequently, Pena Nieto made his strategic move towards electoral positions.

The fact that he was able to accomplish anything within a party filled with conflict, speaks to his political capability. Positive advances with respect to the state's economy, housing and agriculture sectors were achieved during his term.
At the end of his term as governor of the state of Mexico, he announced his bid for nomination as the official Presidential candidate of the PRI party. Oddly, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones, his only opponent decided not to run. Beltrone quits Nieto fits.
